Quest stages of Bleeding The Leech
1. Meet Erke by the docks
Find and approach Erke waiting for you at the docks located on the northern bank of the Thames River. You will start talking about the recent victims of The Leech.
At some point, a woman named Gyda will approach you and mention that her daughter Regna is missing. You will decide to check the place where her daughter was last seen.
2. Find the contact's meeting point
He only shows up at night so wait for the night (you can meditate) and then hide behind the crate.
A contact will come and check the contact box and after a while he will start moving away.
3. Tail the contact
As you tail him, try to maintain some distance, becouse he will stop from time to time and look around.
He will lead you through the streets and will eventually end up at the Bodilsburg Garrison on the eastern side of the city.
4. Find and interrogate the blacksmith / (Optional) Retrieve the letter on the blacksmith
The garrison is well protected so it is best to get to the blacksmith's house quietly. To get there quietly, you can approach the garrison from the east side.
Then by getting rid of one or two guards standing on the walls, you will be able to get near the blacksmith's house.
And after getting rid of the guard standing next to the entrance to the blacksmith's house, you will be able to get inside.
When you enter the blacksmith's house, you will get the following possibilities while talking to him:
- I'm the one asking questions. - You will have to kill him and take the documents from his corpse.
- (Requires charisma level 2) I'm a friend. - You will have to kill him and take the documents from his corpse.
- I'm a member of The Order. - If you have a token (to get it you should first complete the "Firing The Arrow" quest (?)) then you will show it and that's enough for the blacksmith to say what he knows. If you don't have a token, you will get three more dialog options.
To convince the blacksmith that you are a member of The Order you have to choose the third option.
- Never compromise The Order. - You'll have to kill the blacksmith.
- The Order is Eternal. - You'll have to kill the blacksmith.
- Father of Understanding guide us. - You will convince the blacksmith that you are a member of the Order.
Either way, you will learn the identity of another member of the Order - Sister Frideswid.
5. Find and assassinate The Leech
The Leech walks around the ground floor of the northern building. The easiest way to get to her without being noticed is to climb the west wall and enter the building through an open entrance.
Then you can walk on beams and ropes to a place from where you can make an air assassination attempt.
6. Report to Erke
Leave the property, head back to the docks and speak with Erke. You will tell him who The Leech was. During the conversation you will have to decide what to do with the book with The Leech's notes. You can burn it or keep it. What you choose does not matter and this quest will end.
After completing Bleeding The Leech you will get or will be able to get Smashing the Compass (1 of 2).
